Spiced Chicken Wings with Chipotle Lime Dipping Sauce

Before the blog my chicken wing world was dark. Well bright red is more like it. I thought the only kind of chicken wings were those slathered in a neon red spicy butter sauce and dunked in ranch (never blue cheese for me). But since I began blogging and experimenting with various recipes, my chicken wing world has brightened. So far I have tried Sweet Thai Chili Wings, Cajun Chicken Wings, Garlic Pepper Chicken Wings and now these Spiced Chicken Wings with Chipotle Lime Dipping Sauce. With all this experimenting I think I might change my name from Des to “Chicken wing Queen.” Whaddya think?

Like a couple of my other chicken wing recipes, these wings are baked. The difference this time is that I decided to use a combination of plain dry and panko bread crumbs for a coating. The mixture made for a crispy wing without having to fry them, which make these quite a bit healthier than your regular fried butter sauce slathered chicken wing. Not that those aren’t good of course ;-)

Along with my chicken wing world expansion, my chicken wing dip world has also grown. While ranch might be good with these, I wanted to add a little kick so I made a quick chipotle dipping sauce. It was so good I may have dunked my finger in it a couple of times once I ran out of wings.

Love this site, your food is incredible. You know what REALLY helps with the crispiness of the wings: add a TBS of baking powder in with everything else, it dries the skin but not the meat. You may find that you won’t even need the olive oil. Just a thing to try. Happy moving.

Gril, you always have the best wing recipes! I love the idea of the chipotle lime dipping sauce too! You were the one that inspired me to finally try using chipotles in my dishes. I’ve eaten things with chipotle before, but never cooked with it! As always, thanks for the inspirations!
